No one thought the record labels would come after them--and you're probably right that no studio would ever go after folks who mod their players to get around regional distribution. But the studios do have legal rights to distribute titles in only certain geographic areas. You're gravely mistaken if you think the studios don't have legal precedent to go after manufacturers or individuals who tamper with or disable regional specs on their player. Distribution privileges for studios may seem like just a hassle to you, but studios pay big bucks for distribution, which has so much legal force behind it that even countries like China that heretofore ignored intellectual property rights are now falling in line. just because modding your Oppo to make it region-free seems like small potatoes doesn't mean it's legal.
